The best way to start the process of sobering—and I know this from personal experience—is to throw a bucket of cold water in the face: Trump lost to Romney. Yes. In 2012, the bland, plastic-face, boring, uninspiring, corrupt, establishment Mitt Romney drew about 61 million Republican voters to the ballot box. Donald Trump drew only 59.8 million, about 1.2 million […]

Four years ago, Paul Graham tweeted, “Uber is so obviously a good thing that you can measure how corrupt cities are by how hard they try to suppress it.” If I am to use Graham’s format, I should tweet today, “The victory of AATX at the Republican Convention of Texas is so obviously a good and righteous thing that you […]

My thesis in this article is simple: When it comes to analyzing Ted Cruz’s proposal for Federal policies that would supposedly “eliminate the discrimination against homeschoolers,” HSLDA is the most unreliable authority to speak on the issue, and therefore the worst place to turn to for a professional, unbiased opinion. I agree with Joel McDurmon that Cruz’s legislation proposal is […]

Malte Spitz, a member of the German Green Party’s executive committee and a candidate for the Bundestag in the September elections laments the fact that “the Barack Obama who spoke in front of the Brandenburg Gate to a few thousand people on June 19 [this year] looked a lot different from the one who spoke in front of the Siegessäule […]

Where there is no prophetic vision, the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the Law (Proverbs 29:18). Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances. But examine everything; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil (1 Tim. 5:19-22). It is a common misconception among both charismatics and non-charismatics […]

It’s November 7th, 2012 and it is looking as if the Republican “Messiah” Mitt Romney may not win this election. For four years the GOP has been debating the issues, speaking against the acts of Barrack Obama and claiming to have a much better and more Constitutional way of doing things. Almost four years later the RNC pulled a sucker […]

“When we are looking at each other, we are not only looking at a hateful face, we are looking at a mirror. This is the tragedy of our era. isn’t it true that in us, you recognize yourselves, your own unshakable will? . . . I would like for you to understand very well: You think you hate us, but […]

“Mitt Romney today said (that) no abortion legislation is part of his agenda, but he would prohibit federally-funded international nonprofits from providing abortions in other countries.” stated the Des Moines Register in an interview with Mitt Romney on October 9, 2012. ““There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,”” Does […]

I did not watch the presidential debate last night. From my position, such debate is irrelevant. I expected that it would be a true exercise in democracy: two wolves and a lamb were discussing what they should have for dinner. The lamb – the American middle class – was not given a voice in the debate. I expected that the […]

The French socialists are getting ready to pass a law to ban the words “father” and “mother” from official documents. The children, I suppose, will have to learn from an early age that they have “Parent One” and “Parent Two.” Given the fact that in French “one” has a masculine and a feminine form – un and une – it […]
